Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says he is delighted that his team reached the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, as it meant his team achieved their objective for the competition.

The Eastlands side were in a precarious position just a few weeks ago, with only two points from their opening four fixtures in Group E, but rallied with hugely impressive victories against Bayern Munich and AS Roma in their final two games.

Man City have now matched last season’s performance in Europe by reaching the last 16 of the continent’s top tier competition, and for Pellegrini, this shows the club are on the right track.
